Had those on my F350. 
They were on close out for $110 a wheel.
But I didn’t use them like they claim.

Show me your beadlock wheels

A while back I stumbled upon your old thread of yours where two companies in the US make beadlocks.
https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/beadlock-wheels-that-are-made-in-the-usa.16780/
Yea I need to update the thread. I believe the forged aluminum wheels from Method and Raceline are made in the USA.
I think Method has the lightest forged beadlock wheel on the market. Their forged 201 and 202 weigh in at a jaw dropping 27-28lbs and cost $1k+ a wheel.
I have some Weld beadlock wheels for a car but their offroad stuff leaves a lot to be desired IMO. It seems to be catered towards the bro dozer crowd.
Awesome. Look forward to hearing how you like them. I have a thing for dual beadlock rims.
Theyll come with o-rings that go in between the two pieces. I learned the hard way that these o-rings are one time use. Puncture a tire, break it down to patch it, put it back together and on the jeep, next morning tire was flat. O-rings are $23-ish each, and can be hard to get certain times of the year.
My solution, I found a place locally that makes gaskets/o-rings. I took one of the rims and one of the o-rings to them and left them for about a week. When I returned they had made an o-ring out of the same material that was barely larger, fit the groove better, cheaper than the original o-rings and readily available within about a weeks time. I've also been able to separate the rim and put it back together without changing the o-ring.
Something to consider.

OP
For some reason those wheels kind of remind my of something else, I just can't quite figure out what it is though
Sure makes you feel that way when you get the bill for a wheel that cost over $1k each.
OP
If I could afford them, I'd run a set of the Weld Rekon wheels in a heartbeat. The pics online do them absolutely no justice. Had I not seen a set in person, I would think they are like most of the crap out there.
I checked the box for my Trailready beadlocks 15x9 33lb shipping weight
